Live For The Moment

[Big Willie]

Ok, so we havent posted any lyrics on here for a while. This track was an idea Mac Daddy had, and he wanted me to jump on it as well. Let us know what you think!

Title: Live For The Moment

Instrumental: Eminem - Sing For The Moment

Album: Parental Advisory... Real Hip-Hop

Lyrics Written By: Marc Hasemore & Jamie Marchant

[Verse #1] - Mac Daddy

I was just a little boy when I got my first taste of death

My Grandfather passing away, he had breathed his last breath

I remember, being woken around three in the morning

Being surrounded by my family, everybody was mourning

I went over to my Mum, asking her what had happened

Looked over, saw Dad looking all depressed and saddened

Thats when I got the news that simply tore me to shreds

I just broke down in tears, buried my face in my bed

My eyes went bright red the second that I heard he was dead

Going round in my head, remembering just what she said

I fell back to sleep and even thought of him in my dreams

Reminiscing of the times we used to spend down the street

I awoke in the morning and all I could do was grieve

Knowing that one day the same thing could happen to me

I knew that time is precious, that I shouldn't waste it away

That I should live for the moment until my dying day

So come on...

[Chorus]

Sing with me

Sing for the year

Sing for the laughter

Sing for the tears

Sing with me

Just for today

Maybe tomorrow

The good Lord will take you away

[Verse #2] - Big Willie

I’m confused by the claims of how my life’s in chains

How I need to be saved before the tears start to rain

Turning showers to floods and the reasons will be explained

As to why a conversion is all I need to maintain

The healthy thoughts of positivity that would enter my brain

Or I’ll burn in hell, he’d book me a seat on the first train

I don’t oppose you’re beliefs I just oppose persistence

But even now they still try to question my resistance

God can save my existence, turn my life to heaven sent

But when 9/11 happened, where was ya boy then?

I’ve never been in that position and lost a family member

And touch wood, it doesn’t happen for a long time either

See you could call me recluse, a minority as such

I’ve seen stuff happen, I don’t even care to discuss

To enclosed on the emotion I could spark my own demise

But it made me the person you see before your very eyes

So take me for what I am and for the moments that I live

Some people have taken more than I was willing to give

But tomorrow was never promised, so I continue the steps

And just marched right to left before I take my last breath

Took notes on board, and lived my life as a jury

But felt judged and executed before I’d even told my story

Not to be silenced I became taller whilst horizontal

Use these lyrics as a promo and publish a rhyme novel

Taught myself you don’t know what you have until its gone

And wrote this song for each and everyone to sing along

Took carpe diem, to seize the pleasures of today

And chose to live for the moment before it’s taken away

So come on...

[Chorus]

[Verse #3] - Mac Daddy

I've had my fair share of bad times and depression

Experiencing hurt seemed to become an obsession

Spending years of my life with many tears in my eyes

So many things on my mind that I just couldn't refine

Being bullied at school had put me off it for years

The thought of going again became one of my fears

I felt alone at these times, I wouldn't let no-one in

I kept it all to myself, I wouldn't even tell friends

But I eventually cracked and I just let it all out

And I immediately felt a sense of freedom throughout

I started facing my demons and got my confidence back

Putting the hurt to good use, to help me write on this track

I left the past in the past and looked ahead to the future

Got my grades back in school and I became a producer

Started working with Jay to bring back real hip-hop

Created Da Rebirth, hoping to go to the top

Got support from my family, they're so important to me

And I can't thank them enough, they gave strength to be free

Now I'm starting a new chapter in this story I've told

And right now I'm so excited at what the future will hold

So now you know my story, I've opened up to the World

And I'm proud of the fact that I have stayed true to myself

And If there's one single thing that I have learned from my past

It's to live for the moment like every day is your last

So come on...

[Chorus]

AUDIO COMING SOON!

[JumpinJack AJ]

I really like these lyrics. It'd be nice 2 hear the track when it's recorded and see how it fits on the beat...but u need 2 come up with names that aren't already used by well-known, multi-platnium emcees if u wanna be taken seriously. Will Smith and Chris Kelly beat u 2 those names years ago.
